[Vk5-wx-sonde] SPAM Re: auto_rx v1.4.0 released

Sun Dec 27 14:46:58 PST 2020

*From another non linux guru.*
Managed the python 3 upgrade.
Tried the sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt before I did a git pull 
for auto_rx - wrong
Then did the git pull and then the pip3 install command did work.
tried to run python auto_rx.py - did not work demanding that I did the 
pip3 install command which I had just completed.
discovered that python3 auto_rx.py did work and auto_rx ran and reported 
my position and the fact that I was running the new version OK.
when a sonde was detected it then cycled through to decode and 
immediately aborted decode and resumed scan, so it is not decoding sondes.

So no updates from VK5NE_auto_rx right now.

Cheers
Paul
